His Last Command, My First Concern

MINEFIELDS

Over the last few months we are enjoying a very interesting series titled ‘Minefields‘ which helps the listener to understand the ‘landmines’ individuals and families must avoid, to be able to live a purpose driven life.

3 Surprising Facts about family today dated back to 2015 got my attention that honestly shocked me. I had to read this and obviously more to better understand the challenge society is faced today. Am I really that ignorant?

Honestly said, everything begins somewhere and it’s very clear to me that the starting point is the home! A wife is called to ‘submit‘ but women’s liberation says, ‘are you crazy?’ and Husband’s are to be ‘understanding’ and ‘honorable’ and the world says that this is rubbish and obviously the most affected are children, who end up in bad company and yes, its their fault for falling into this mess!

But then this is what’s happening inside the home. What happens outside the home is much worse! I am learning and am thankful to know that different ‘models’ of landmines are being planted to destroy families daily and if we make an effort, we surely can avoid being a victim:

EXCUSE-ITIS: A disease that blames others and not willing to accepting responsibility

IDENTITY-ITIS: A disease where one is suffering from an Identity crisis

WORLDLY-N-ITIS: A heart attitude (disease) that tightly attaches to the world
